I am the power and the authority in my life.  I release the past and claim my good. - Louise Hay

When we reclaim our power from those to whom we have erroneously handed it over, it's like unveiling the Wizard of Oz behind his curtain.  We have made someone or a group of someones bigger than they are.  We have lived in fear of them, of getting in trouble, of not being liked or approved of, or whatever it is.

But we are more powerful than we realize and we are not meant to crawl and beg.  We must learn to stand on our own two feet and speak our truth.  And if our truth is unpopular, well then, so be it.  It is better to be unpopular than to betray our beautiful selves.

I hold my power and honor my truth.
